-----------------------------------------------------------------------
• The Nebraska women’s basketball team shoots for a breakthrough win away from home when the Huskers take on No. 24/22 Miami on Friday in Coral Gables, Fla in the first game of the Miami Thanksgiving Classic at the Watsco Center. A live video stream will be provided by ACC Network Extra and the Watch ESPN App.
• The Huskers will try to rebound from an 87-84 double-overtime loss at Washington State on Friday, Nov. 16. The Huskers trailed by 13 points late in the third quarter before rallying to send the game to overtime tied at 70. Nebraska built a pair of four-point leads in the first OT, but WSU got a layup with two seconds left to send it to a second overtime, where the Cougars prevailed.
• Freshman Sam Haiby led the Huskers with a career-high 20 points, which all came after halftime for the 5-9 guard. Sophomore Kate Cain added a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds, while junior Hannah Whitish pitched in 11 points, five rebounds and four assists.
• Miami also will be looking to rebound from a disappointing road loss. The Hurricanes fell 75-52 in the Preseason WNIT Championship game to Iowa State in Ames on Sunday afternoon. Miami, which hit 43.7 percent of its threes in its first four games, went just 2-for-20 from long range at Hilton Coliseum.
Scouting The Miami Hurricanes
• Coach Katie Meier and the No. 24/22 Miami Hurricanes settled for a runner-up trophy in the Preseason WNIT after a 75-52 loss at Iowa State in the championship game on Sunday.
• Meier has built Miami into a consistent ACC contender in her 14 seasons leading the Hurricanes. Miami has made nine straight postseason trips, including seven NCAA appearances during that span.
